Akonadi::PayloadException: Wrong payload type

[kaushik]

Hi,

When I am trying to run an application It is crashing with the error
message as

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Akonadi::PayloadException'
what(): Akonadi::PayloadException: Wrong payload type (requested:
sp(0)<QByteArray>; present: sp(0)<History>


I tried to figure out the workround but could not. I tried different
versions of KdePilmibs but didnt work.
I tried the master and the stable version 4.7
I could only figure out by the previous mail threads that serializer could
not be found.

How do i fix this??

Check the serializer's .desktop file.
Newer Akonadi versions require additional entries, check one of the current
serializers.

You get this if the plugin loader cannot find the serializer plugins. This
could happen if your XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable and your ld.so config
do not agree about where to find the plugins.

Try with a new user using the stable distro packages?

I fixed it finally. :)
I had proper entries in the serializer .desktop file, and it was getting
installed properly also.

Then i thought that something must be wrong in my app, but there also
everything turned out to be correct. In the end after playing around with
kdepimlibs it came down to the mime-type.
The mimetype of my application was not know so even thought my .desktop
file was getting read, in the function call findBestmatch somewhere in
kdepimlibs, it was getting ignored.
So I wrote a xml file for my mimetype and installed it, and wooo!
Everything worked! :)
